What's New?

Hey, cops, get a load of this! While it's been pretty well established that AI is completely useless doing office work, we still have stupid people pretending or perhaps even believing that AI can create art. If you're one of these stupid people then I implore you not to procreate. Wait, I don't even need to worry about that.

I tried to use ChatGPT to make art. It looked like shit. Read about this profoundly unique experience here.

Sorry, philly police dept. If it's any consolation, it's nothing personal. In fact, the only thing I know about Philly is that Tom Hanks died of AIDS there in that one movie. I don't remember the name of it.

Police in philly are getting hot and bothered over social media posts that talk shit about AI. Frankly, if your product is so bad that the police need to get involved, something is seriously wrong. If you've got credible evidence that people are concerned enough about Data Centers that you need to form an anti-terrorism task force, perhaps the police should look at why. Rather than blame citizens for trying to protect the communities they live in, ban the data centers and avoid the problem entirely.

As far as I'm concerned, data centers have no place in America. The don't add anything of value to our lives and they hurt the communities they're built in. However, I'm not in charge, and my power is limited to my vote. I don't think burning them down will help. In fact, violence will discredit the anti AI movement. Instead, we need to wipe this technology off the face of the planet in the only way these scumbags understand: by pulling our money out. Do not use Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other companies products if they use or perpetuate AI. I know I just posted a youtube video ten days ago. Maybe I should give that up.

I specifically stopped using Windows because of Co-Pilot and just recently de-googled my phone. There's no adjustment needed in switching to Linux and Graphene OS. You can install Linux Mint on anything made this century and it'll run near flawlessly. You don't need Youtube, and you don't need any of the other crap Google peddles. Especially if they're going to harm our communities with these data centers.

I'm preaching to the choir here, though. The First Ammendement is not up for debate, and nobody, anywhere, has the right to stifle your speech or mine. There's no need to make threats, because the majority believes AI sucks and it's perfectly feasible to kick this crap out of our lives without violence. I'm not surprised that police would have trouble understanding that there are non-violent means to reaching goals. I think it's disgusting that these people our waste tax dollars tracking people who are fighting the digital equivelent of cigarettes. The police have never existed to serve the public, but they used to at least pretend they did.

I mentioned an "anti-AI" movement earlier. The fact is, that doesn't exist. If you're alive in America right now, you're probably anti-AI. Opposition to AI is about as common as opposition to nazism, communism, and Clippy. There's always going to be that one guy you know that's into this stuff. You've got to ask yourself why you still associate with that person.

On the flipside, maybe it's good that so many people are using AI. First off, it's profoundly expensive every time you do. Not for you, but for the Techbros peddling it. OpenAI is in horrific financial shape, and the bottom is closer to falling out every single day. You can accelerate that by asking ChatGPT stupid questions, getting it to "decrypt" random gibberish keyboard mashings into english, and otherwise wasting tokens.

Blowing up a Data Center isn't going to help solve the problem. It's not even going to stop the Data Center. It's a minor setback. Market conditions must erase any feasible money making from this crap. We need to make it 100% clear that there is no market for this, and that there never will be. Then, we vote in politicians that will regulate and tax the living crap out of them. That's the American way.

Youtube sucks now, and it's primarily the interfaces fault. The site seems to recommend high production value, TV-esque nonsense over actual people. Despite that, it's the only Google product I still use. Gemini has made search unusable, and lol at the idea of using something like Gmail for anything other than a throwaway. I used to use their cloud service until I realized it was idiotic to pay a company that makes it's money off of stealing data to store my data.

Still, I like the idea of Youtube. The fact that I can upload a video of myself playing an NES game is pretty cool. I don't know if I'll actually continue doing it, but we'll see. I've got one more in the pipeline after this. I still need to watch it myself before I release it to the public.

See, I don't actually care if this thing looks or sounds that great. Old Youtube didn't, and people enjoyed it just fine. Not to mention, NES games look better this way if you ask me.
